Backwoods Purple Cigars - Pack of 5
by Steven
Very sweet until the end. Really enjoyed them. Nice smoke at night with a cup of tea. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes a sweet cigar.

Very short smoke. Lasted about four minutes, pleasant flavour at first but disappeared quickly. Ok for someone looking for a light quick smoke.

I smoked this the day after a blue version which I really enjoyed. It is an industrial strength smoke: strong, dry and tart. My eyes were watering at one point. The construction is better, it holds together and doesnt fall apart into a tatty bundle for the final third which the blue one did. A classy smoke, no doubt, but not for the faint hearted. I much preferred the blue version.

Great cigar for the price as it lasted around an hour. Some nice sweet and spicy bold flavours of rich dark coffee, chocolate and spicy cedar, also had a sweet vegetal earthy roundness about it. Very tight construction so the draw was a tad tight but rectified this no problem with a draw tool. Once lit it held the ash very well. What I will say for any new people to a cigar of this gauge is to ensure it is properly lit at the beginning as it takes slightly longer, to avoid problems during the smoke. Felt like that even for the length being short it never wanted to end. Would definitely recommend people to try.

If you want to get your moneys worth out of boveda bags,Id recommend using them in plastic containers as it retains the humidity more than wooden ones,which in turn saves you money as you wont keep buying them. If youre worried about the lack of wood,take some cedar sheets and line your box in them.
Dont use wooden humidors,its a scam.

I was a bit dubious at first when I got this cigar seeing that the Brand J.Cortes produce millions of cigars each year so it made me wonder weather the quality would be there. Was a nice light cigar which would be non offensive to newcomers. And the construction of the cigar was faultless. Burned evenly from start to finish and even down to the end of the cigar didn’t become too hot or bitter on the mouth. Some lovely flavours of coffee and dark chocolate with plenty of woody notes and a slight menthol flavour towards the end, the ash also held very well. Highly recommend people to give it a go for a lighter smoke.
